Sottotitoli in inglese
Chiarisci parole sconosciute e frasi difficili. Usa un dizionario e brevi appunti se necessario.
Passaggio 3
Shadowing
Ripeti frase per frase e imita pronuncia, ritmo, accento e intonazione.
Passaggio 4
Dettato
Scrivi alcune frasi chiave da ciò che senti per allenare forma e struttura.
Passaggio 5
Riascolto senza sottotitoli
Ascolta di nuovo senza supporto testuale e nota cosa ora risulta più facile e chiaro.
Dopo l’allenamento

Condividi appunti, parole nuove o un concetto utile, poi racconta l’episodio con parole tue.
Passo successivo
Dall’intensivo all’estensivo
Riutilizza gli episodi studiati in modo intensivo come ascolto di sottofondo e aumenta il volume con materiale familiare.

📝 Trascrizione dialogo IELTS Speaking
I want to talk about how companies and individuals promote ideas. Promotion is normal. But there is a point when promotion becomes touting. I use 'tout' to mean excessive or misleading praise. I also use 'tout' to describe people who resell tickets at inflated prices. Both kinds of touting bother me. One example is online adverts that tout a product as 'miracle' grade. The claims often lack evidence. A recent report claimed 72% of shoppers feel misled by extreme claims, although that figure surprised some experts. Another example is event ticket markets. After local regulations in 2018, authorities tried to limit ticket touts. Yet some local vendors still tout seats outside venues for much more money. I think the solution is twofold. First, consumers should check independent reviews and read the small print. Second, regulators should enforce rules and issue fines for dishonest promotion. Education helps too, but it is not enough on its own. Overall, honest advertising preserves credibility. Excessive touting erodes trust and wastes time and money.
📝 📚 Domande pratica IELTS
1
What is the speaker mainly discussing?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker focuses on the difference between normal promotion and 'touting'. B is incorrect because staging events is not the main topic. C is wrong as advert writing techniques are not the focus; the speaker criticizes misleading claims rather than giving techniques. D is incorrect because pricing strategies are only mentioned in relation to ticket touts, not as the main subject.
2
Which two meanings of 'tout' does the speaker use?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker explicitly refers to touting as exaggerated praise and as reselling tickets at inflated prices. B is wrong because 'quietly recommend' and 'design adverts' are not mentioned. C is incorrect because the speaker refers to reselling illegally/overpriced, not selling legally. D is unrelated to the uses in the passage.
3
Which action does the speaker recommend first to address touting?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker lists checking independent reviews and reading the small print as the first solution. B is wrong because increasing budgets is not suggested. C is unrealistic and not mentioned. D is extreme and not advocated; the speaker suggests informed choices, not total boycotts.
4
Why does the speaker mention local vendors who tout seats outside venues?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker notes that even after regulations in 2018 some vendors still tout seats, indicating continued practice despite rules. B is wrong because the tone is critical, not praising. C is incorrect; the mention contrasts vendor activity with regulatory attempts, not venue sales. D is wrong because the speaker implies they are dishonest by charging much more.
5
What can be inferred about the speaker's view of education alone as a solution?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker explicitly says education helps but is not enough alone. B is wrong because the speaker does not dismiss education. C is incorrect because the speaker argues for regulation and fines in addition to education. D is not mentioned; the speaker recommends enforcement and fines rather than replacing education with voluntary codes.
6
In the sentence 'adverts that tout a product as "miracle" grade', what is the meaning of 'tout'?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: Here 'tout' clearly means to promote enthusiastically, typically exaggerating benefits. B is wrong because 'tout' does not mean investigate. C is incorrect; touting is not discounting. D is unrelated to the verb's meaning in context.

Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Correct: The speaker states that after local regulations in 2018 authorities tried to limit ticket touts. B, C, and D are incorrect because those years are not mentioned in the passage and are therefore distractors.
